Abstract

I will discuss the existence problem of extremal Kahler metrics (in the sense of Calabi) on the total space of a holomorphic projective bundle P(E) over a compact complex curve. The problem is not solved in full generality even in the case of a projective plane bundle over CP^1. However, I will show that sufficiently ``small'' Kahler classes admit extremal Kahler metrics if and only if the underlying vector bundle E can be decomposed as a sum of stable factors. This result can be viewed as a ``Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence'' for projective bundles over a curve, but in the context of the search for extremal Kahler metrics. The talk will be based on a recent work with D. Calderbak, P. Gauduchon and C. Tonnesen-Friedman.
